No biggie. As a result, we now have a time limit in place, which I think is a good thing.

Homestar: Sorry I didn't reply to your IM. Was in the shower.

What is the time limit??

A week. For example, here's Spidey's most recent post. It has when Zigathon needs to make his post by.

WOW! We're drafting at rocket speed now!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!

EDIT: Wow! Lythand had a plan. He grabbed Grim Monolith and Power Artifact early. That spells infinite mana. Kudos to the two card combo. I never saw that coming.

:rolleyes: I love this place...

Homestar, you should've listed Melkor's date as June 9, not June 2. That date should be a week after the current date. Also, you forgot to update your draft list.

Okay, the draft is now back to Oversoul.

I went ahead and picked up Counterspell. I may have been able to grab it a round or too later, but it's early and anybody can still pick up blue as a color. Plus, the next few picks I'm hoping on may slip under the radar.

Oversoul has just drafted Tinker (Which he commented with "I am making a mistake...
"). I'm not sure if he made a mistake or not. Tinker is a pretty powerful card AND there are countless powerful artifacts left in the draft. The only thing that this pick does is expand his color pool to B/U. However, judging by his comments after I drafted TimeTwister, I'd say it was fairly certain that he was considering blue already. :D

I think you made a good pick, Oversoul. Maybe a round or two too early, but you can never know with this group of misfits! :D

I think you guys picking Black and Blue are going to be fighting over some cards, depending on which way you go (combo, beatdown, etc). So in that view Counterspell was a good pick now.

I think Lythand has it fairly easy as he's the only one with red right now :) Same thing with Homestar and green (although apparently he might be fighting with me for white).

I think Tinker was a great pick. Actually, I think I made a mistake by not taking it with my last pick. Alas, I thought it would last another round.

Actually, it's kind of funny how things are going right now. Black and Blue are clearly going to be torn over, but I also think they have the best cards to offer this format, so if everyone's careful, they should be able to get the cards they want without too much interference. I think, if anything, Zigathon might run into some problems since he's made it very apparent that he's going mono-black. But on the other hand, almost all of his cards are the types that only get used in mono-black decks, so I don't see anyone else really going for them, either.

As far as the other colors go, DarthFerret is more firmly entrenched in green than Homestar. Nobody's actually drafted a red card yet (Red Mox != Red Card). And Ransac drafted WoG, so there's a good chance he'll be sticking his nose in white, as well.

Needless to say, I think it's been quite interesting how this has gone so far. We'll see whose strategy worked the best soon enough.
